Final Report
Description:
This report documents the activities performed during and the results obtained from the arsenic removal technology demonstration project at the Sunset Ranch Development in Homedale, ID. The objectives of the project are to evaluate: 1) the effectiveness of a point of use (POU) reverse osmosis (RO) technology in removing arsenic, nitrate, and uranium to meet the respective maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) of 10 µg/L, 10 mg/L (as N), and 30 µg/L, 2) the reliability of the treatment units, 3) the required system operation and maintenance (O&M) and operator skill levels, and 4) the capital and O&M cost of the technology. The project also characterizes process residuals, i.e., reject water, produced by the RO units.
